Our cutaway models illustrate the differences between our mattress styles and show how we construct our comfort layers and support systems.

Avocado Eco Organic Mattress – 9 Inches Tall

Our Eco Organic Mattress uses one seamless layer of GOLS certified organic latex — 2 inches in the comfort layer (D65 / 14-19 ILD, soft). We add a layer of pure, naturally crimped 100% GOTS certified organic wool (CU 863637) (1 ounce per square foot) under the 100% organic certified cotton ticking in every mattress. For a luxurious and premium finish, we use 100% GOTS certified organic cotton (CU863637) in a soft, natural color, for a luxurious and premium finish, over a generous layer of organic wool with thin non-woven backing as a natural fire barrier. We do not use polyester fiber. Made in Los Angeles in our own manufacturing facility, our border coils are a meaty 14.5 gauge and interior zone coils are 12 gauge. Some companies use toxic chemical glues to bind their mattress layers together, which contributes to off-gassing and indoor air pollution. We do not. Instead, we use simple durable metal rings made from recycled steel to keep our mattress layers firmly in place.
